The first image looks like ficus, it is easy to care for bonsai beginner. I am not sure about the other one.

The second looks like a japanese abricot, Prunus mume.

It looks unnatural for me, but I didn't see it from side. Might change my opinion.

It doesn't matter so much, but I guess 16 years old, not 60.

Hahahahahaha
First of all, they are completely different species with different growing speed.
Second, I guess the red is NOT 15 years old. Maybe I'm wrong here, with Prunus Mume it's always difficult to tell.
But the Ficus is not 60 years old, for sure!
And please, don't laugh on me, it's...rude?
I don't know how experienced you are, but I know Ficus upside down.
